rking 484 Posted January 25, 2016 i brought a robe to cover my butt when i walked, gas x strips cuz i heard they really help with gas, house shoes. i wore home the same clothes i wore up there. i also brought my phone charger and an extra pair of clothes just in case i needed them, which i did not. the hospital provided body wash and Shampoo when i was able to shower.

mommy3nurse 8 Posted January 26, 2016 I brought my favorite soft blanket from home. I was glad that I brought slippers for walks in the hall. Comfy pants for the car ride home, my incisions were at my normal pants waistline. At home, I had all my Protein shakes that I would need for the next two weeks. I Water bottle that measured how much I was drinking. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bb8 4 Posted January 26, 2016 Congrats your surgery date! You will be great. I just had my sleeve done on 1/21. Here are a few things I would suggest bringing. Comfortable clothes. I wore comfy clothes, but also brought some to wear home. I've heard of many people just wearing home the clothes they came in. Up to you! Phone/phone charger Robe. You will be asked to get up and walk around, so you may want this to cover yourself up. The hospital provided one for me, but it was a bit small. Slippers for when you walk the halls Something that will bring you comfort. Totally optional, but my husband gave me a stuffed animal and I kept it with me when I stayed overnight. Best of luck to you!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
